Hi, We have also done some testing and came up with a possible solution for Windows based machines (We have not yet tested Linux platforms), the outcome was that we were able to backup in-VM Data and restore it by traversing the "Public" interface.
For reference, we tested this on VMware. This has some caveats though: 1. It uses the Public network, so if you are charging for "Public" traffic, you will need to keep this in mind. At present there is no way (to my knowledge) of excluding certain Public IP address (source of destination) from being included in the usage data. 2. it depends on an Agent being loaded onto the VM, 3. it isn’t free and is charge per-GB with a minimum commitment etc. The product is made by Acronis, called "Acronis Backup Cloud" and uses certificates to ensure communication to the correct VM as well as securing the in-flight data.
